Recently remodeled with a great kitchen open to the dining area for wonderful meals with the whole group or game nights. This is a clean nicely decorated comfortable house filled with art and amenities. This home is on a quiet half acre with views of the Sandia mountains from the front and back yards and amazing sunsets from the spacious back yard. Hot Air Balloons, roadrunners, quail and dove are often seen on or around the property. Plenty of storage space for long stays.
Kitchen is stocked with the essentials - Dishes, silverware, pots and pans, blender, coffee, tea, breakfast items, olive oil, spices, some condiments and more. Everything you need to make a meal is provided except the food. Feel free to use whatever you need just kindly replace anything you finish off. Gas stove with electric convection oven. Plenty of counter space. Washer and Dryer are in laundry room with detergent and dryer sheets. There is a 2 car garage for parking convenience and a door opener is available once inside so you can come and go easily to enjoy the many places to see. There are games, movies and a DVD player. Streaming from both TV's - living room and main bedroom are available. Bedrooms have comfortable beds with all linens and extra blankets. Plenty of storage for clothes and any shopping items you may bring back with you.
There is a covered patio / latilla courtyard with a BBQ grill in the back so you can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and wildlife. Outside the courtyard is the rest of the 1/2 acre with plenty of space for play. Lots of sand for the kids and a firepit with mountain view.

Great stay!
This property in Rio Rancho strikes a good balance between access to shopping and restaurants with a secluded feel. The neighborhood is quiet and an interesting mix of older homes and new builds. The house was very clean and has the most supplies, such as cooking and cleaning products, that I have ever seen! We got to see hot air balloons on Saturday morning!, which was awesome.

Comfortable rural home
Overall, this is a comfortable modest home in a rural area of Rio Rancho. It has all the amenities you would expect for a nice home stay. The host was easy to communicate with. It is a well-equipped, clean, spacious home, although the house has a couple of maintenance issues that need to be rectified. Also, there is a dog next door that barked for a while during the evenings, up until about 9, 10 or 11pm. Early in the mornings, be sure to go out into the backyard to look for hot air balloons!

Comfortable and Well Stocked
This was home base for a wedding. The house was clean and well stocked just as described. We enjoyed our time there with the games provided. There were two disappointing things. It sleeps 8 but the living room seats 4, so there weren't enough comfy chairs. The kitchen had everything we needed - except a working dishwasher! 8 people and no dishwasher is definitely not cool. Otherwise, a great place to stay.
